Judge Exasperated With Ex-CEO Who Must Pay $3M In Fees
Law360 (March 12, 2021, 10:13 PM EST) An Illinois federal judge awarded roughly $3 million in attorney fees to litigation funder Oasis Legal Finance, slamming the incoherent and ineffective behavior of the company s former CEO accused of infringing on the business s name.
U.S. District Judge Robert W. Gettleman said Oasis Legal Finance had demonstrated that the case was exceptional, giving the company all the costs they had asked for, which included $2,995,000 in attorney fees and about $108,000 in taxable costs. Its ex-CEO Gary Chodes was sued over founding or helping to found Oasis Legal Finance Group and Oasis Disability Group.
